Fair enough, the technicality is that they get dual control not dual ownership. But put that into the relevant situation and you'll see that the poor guy is trapped and unable to anything about it. Read More

I too have a good agent. She never overcharges. But when agents (especially in my area) charge 11 million for doing something that costs 2 million, then I feel justified in using words like thieving. We have one individual here who even told me ... Read More
